Overview
AfterQuery builds training material for AI models, and this role puts your paralegal background at the center of it. You write legal support challenges and case studies that push large language models through legal research, citation formats and document drafting, then judge how well those models answer. Legal and technical reviewers work beside you to calibrate difficulty and keep the content accurate. The engagement runs remote and asynchronous, so you fit the hours around your own caseload.
What You'll Do7
- Draft paralegal questions and case studies covering legal research, citation rules, discovery management and trial preparation.
- Test model output against real legal standards, then write feedback that names the exact error and the correct practice.
- Score responses for accuracy and flag answers that misstate a procedure or misformat a citation.
- Adjust difficulty across a question set so the material stays demanding without becoming unusable.
- Work with legal and technical colleagues to align questions on scope, format and difficulty tiers.
- Cover adjacent topics such as case file organization, client communication and litigation support.
- Record evaluation decisions in writing so other reviewers can follow your reasoning.
Requirements8
- Associate degree or certificate in paralegal studies, or a bachelor's degree paired with paralegal certification.
- Hands-on experience as a paralegal, with a working command of legal research, document preparation and case management.
- Strong analytical and writing skills, plus the precision to catch citation and formatting errors.
- Comfort explaining in writing why an answer fails, to readers with legal and technical backgrounds.
- Preferred: several years in the field across practice areas such as litigation, corporate, real estate or family law.
- Preferred: involvement in legal technology projects, training programs or process improvement work.
- Preferred: CP, ACP or RP certification, or other specialized legal training.
- Preferred: familiarity with AI or technology-driven legal tools.
Who Should Apply
Paralegals with real casework behind them who catch a bad citation from across the room. You have owned research, drafting and case files in at least one practice area, and you can explain your reasoning in plain writing to a mixed legal and technical audience.
Salary Insight
$55.00 per hour. That sits near the top of what remote paralegal review work pays, which often falls short of this for straight document review. The rate matches the specialized judgment involved: you grade model output against legal standards rather than tag documents.
